Robodebt was the great test of Australia’s accountability mechanisms – and they failed

This is literally one of the most profoundly stupid and ignorant things I've ever seen written about executive level public sector behavioural incentives that I've ever read - from X The Everything App at 1:00am on a Saturday morning, right through to <checks notes> the fucking NACC.

She seems to have Albo'ed even harder than Albo did.

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I would not quit on the spot, but I would pivot to bringing down the organisation from the inside

I for one would love to live in a society where there are consequences for misdeeds and malfeasance

The NACC has been an utter waste of public money. Its sole achievement so far is to further persuade everyone that consequence-free corruption and bastardry are fixed features of government in this country.

The Albanese Labor Government is supporting bombing a country, then preventing people fleeing that violence from seeking safety here.

It is wicked.

If unregulated gambling were not one of today's core social issues, I'd give you great odds they'll find at least a half dozen shallow graves.

Yep

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

Well, then. No more questions, your honour.

Ooof

I'll go ahead and say it: they are substantially less intelligent than almost everyone

Not that he could, even if a logical case existed, which it doesn't

What a stupid fucking thing to say out loud

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

Not if Joss Whedon's involved, no

A somehow-more-racist one

Has he been right about anything this century?

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Ghost of Yotei star: 'workers need more protections' in game development

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
